I have a Fun Mama, and that's the kind of Mama I want to be. What she didn't have in resources she made up for in creativity. I want to be the Mama with plenty of crayons, fingerpaint, lemonade and cookie dough. I have sprinkles and character bandages and I'm not afraid to use them.

Soule Mama at Simple Mom

I have been reading Amanda Soule's blog at http://www.soulemama.typepad.com/ for several months now. I recommended to the Louisville Free Public Library to buy a copy of her new book The Creative Family and they have now purchased four. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it's on my to-purchase list, and I hope to pick it up from the library tomorrow. Amanda writes about living a creative life with children and encouraging creativity in children. I really like the way she portrays her life as simple and calm and joyful. It's all about looking on the brightside.

I was excited to see that Amanda did an interview yesterday on simplemom.net. It's an interesting interview, all about the things I mentioned and also how to do those things and still maintain your life. Simple Mom is also giving away copies of Amanda's book The Creative Family! Check out the blog to read the interview and register to win:http://simplemom.net/the-creative-family-by-amanda-soule/#comment-3166
